Post-harvest spray treatments to reduce Salmonella contamination on cantaloupe surfaces
… CPC to cantaloupe surfaces may be an alternative post harvest technique to reduce the frequency and level of Salmonella contamination. Cantaloupe (Athena and Hale's Best Jumbo (HBJ) cultivars) rind plugs were inoculated with a broth culture of Salmonella Michigan. After 15 min, plugs were sprayed …

Evaluating post-harvest practices on the quality and safety of Kona coffee
… The majority of this coffee is sun-dried after harvest and washing. Sun-dried coffee should reach 12-13% moisture within 4 to 6 days. Sun-drying will reduce both the moisture content and the water activity (aw). Reducing aw below 0.75, especially in the first week of drying, is important for …

Quality and Consumer Acceptance in Relation to Post-Harvest Browning of Cultivated Mushrooms
… environmental conditions have been related to post-harvest browning. Climatic cabinets were used as growing units. White strain mushrooms grown in a wet environment (low evaporation 94% RH) significantly browned more on storage compared to mushrooms grown in a dry environment (high evaporation, …

Optimizing construction and utilization of wheat storage facilities to minimize post-harvest losses
… significant quantity and quality losses. These post-harvest losses are estimated to be as much as 20% of harvested wheat and a study by the Government of India puts the total preventable wheat losses at 10% of total production. These post-harvest wheat losses in developing countries can be …

Identification of microbial diversity associated with post-harvest storage of rice in India
… the microbial community compositions of freshly harvested paddy and stored rice led to identification of the dominant fungi and bacteria specifically present or enriched during storage. Greater microbial diversity of fresh paddy as compared to milled rice suggests that milling may be responsible …

Post Harvest Evaluation of Best Management Practices for the Prevention of Soil Erosion in Virginia
Poor harvesting practices can accelerate soil erosion and decrease water quality and site productivity. Forestry Best Management Practices (BMPs) were developed to protect water quality, primarily by minimizing erosion during and after timber harvests. Although properly employed BMPs mitigate …

Stability and esterification of lutein in bread wheat during post harvest storage in comparison with banana.
… to be unstable against heat and UV light. During post harvest storage of bread wheat grain some of the lutein may be converted to mono- and di-fatty acid esters that appear to be more stable forms of lutein. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were: to study the effects of temperature on …
